Mindy only asked Miranda to contact Sam because the two of them already knew each other.Back when Lionel's wallet was stolen at the train station, Miranda had introduced Sam to them. She called him "Mr. Cooper" and explained that he was a friend. Later, Sam had even thoughtfully dropped them off at
Nelly's smile became slightly strained. "Is that so? Lionel is truly a family man…"As everyone enjoyed their meal, the doorbell suddenly rang. Sam put down his cutlery. "I'll get it," he said, heading to the entryway.A few seconds later, his surprised voice echoed through the house. "Dad? What are
The moment seemed to pull Timothy back in time, to when they were just young adults in their 20s. Their world revolved solely around each other, yet held back by the unspoken.His heart stirred. He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything, Mindy stood up and broke the spell. "I sh

Now, Timothy and Mindy were no longer the childhood sweethearts they once were. Their lives had diverged, with separate marriages and entirely different paths."Do you remember when we were kids, the promises we made about what we wanted to be when we grew up?" Timothy was the first to break the sil
"No way… Are you a big shot? You even brought your bodyguards to get drunk at a bar?" "Who knows?" Sam retorted.…Sam asked his bodyguards to stand closer deliberately so that he could finally have some peace and quiet. He poured himself another drink, but unlike last night, he didn't chug it down

Iris continued, "Or maybe it's just because the person wearing them was too beautiful! Either way, I can't stop thinking about them. I definitely have to buy one, or I won't be satisfied."Susan replied, "Of course, I haven't forgotten."Iris sighed and said, "If only my son had such good taste and
"I'll be there as soon as possible."After saying that, Paul ended the conversation. He grabbed his car keys and headed out. His mood was unusually good.Would Mimi be surprised to see him in a while?By the time Paul pulled up at the convention center, the opening ceremony of the film festival had
Mindy asked, "Ms. Kane?""Yes. She's the biggest investor of Wonder Media," Darius explained. Mindy was a little surprised, but she didn't think too much about it. After all, it was normal for acquaintances to greet each other when they met again. Darius leaned in slightly and lowered his voice.
Iris asked, "Mrs. Jefferson, what were you saying earlier?""Oh, it's nothing… The distance is too far for me to see clearly, but pigeon blood rubies are always of high quality," Susan answered. "You're making me itch to get one. I have yellow and blue sapphires at home, but not a red ruby.""Let's
As Roman was speaking, the spotlight and large screen cameras were focused directly on Mindy. At first, she looked slightly surprised, but she maintained a smile throughout the speech. Mindy met the camera's lens without a flicker of hesitation in her eyes. Once Roman finished, she gracefully clapp
Someone asked, "Who is she? Is she an actress?""Which supporting role did she play in 'Lantern?'""She looks so beautiful, but isn't she standing in the wrong place? Why is she linking arms with the male lead?""She couldn't be an actress, right? She looks unfamiliar?""Maybe she is part of the pro
Sandy said, "Bry, remember this. When a man starts leaving work on time and heading home early, it means he wants to start a family soon."Bryan nodded. "I've learned something new today. Thanks, Sandy.""On the other hand, you should focus on your career first. The right person will come along late
Lionel greeted them with a smile, "Paul, you're here! Come and have some breakfast. I've reheated the soup. Be careful. It's hot."Paul sat down at the table. "Thank you, Mr. Sutton.""You're welcome."After breakfast, Paul played a game of chess with Lionel. However, calls from the lab kept ringing
